Convert Oracle 817 database to SQL 2005

    We are in the planning stages of converting an Oracle 8.1.7 database to SQL 2005. Are there any formulas or rules of thumb available for estimating disk space needed for SQL?

    TIA

    Michelle,

    Unless you are changing data types (say, varchar to nvarchar) the size of data will be similar. Also Oracle as I was told takes more space for system tables. I would read Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Companion on planning for the disk capacity. I have this book for SQL Server 2000 and in this book it is chapters 5 and 6. There are some formulas and examples.
